kSRO updated this Wednesday their servers with the D13 update.This is just like the D12 first update, the cap level is still 120 and also the skills. The only way for obtain the D13 items right now is upgrading your D12+6 items (I'm not sure about the plus since the image is in Korean).

For everyone who want to see the new items, here is a vid with them all:

About the previously mentioned "Muhan" dungeon: This is a dungeon like the battle arena. It exists for levels 71-80, 81-90, 91-100 and 101-110 in solo and party versions. The description says:

Protect the Guardian Stone in the middle of the battlefield to receive your reward. You can use the Morph Stone to fight as a monster.

A new pvp battle arena will be added, it is called "Styria Clash".

Score points by securing treasure chests or by slaying opponents. The team that has scored the highest points within the time limit wins.
(Treasure Chest = 200 pts. each, PK = 20 pts. each)
An event monster will appear for the losing team from time to time. Slay this monster to obtain useful buffs for the entire team, and click the pot for a chance to obtain a rare artifact that provides Job EXP

By the way: Silkroad secrets has reached 1,000,000 page views in total since its creation in 2009! Thank you all very much! ^__^

So, Joymax announced today on the korean version a new system for the pets. Basically you can buy different stuff for your pets, tattoos, skills, armors, and that stuff, everything from item mall ofc. Also you will be able to ride some growth pets like they were ponys! Finally something interesting. Together with the info they released some pictures of them.

Digimon-like pet:

Bad-ass bear:

Gay chicken:

As I understood, those pets can both attack and be riden, but they cannot do both at the same time, which means you can't attack while you are riding it.

Hey! So long since no entries, we are busy with other projects ^^So, do you expect something interesting? Sorry but this entry won't be like that. Just wanted to show you something that no one noticed in years.

...since I've posted here. Well, I played eSRO and some other stuff, and there weren't really many interesting news about SRO. Still, there were some and I will summarize them here.

The following information are taken from kSRO's newest files:

Survey system
Joymax included some texts about a survey system in which players are supposed to tell their opinions. It's unknown yet if the surveys are about game related stuff or if there are any rewards for them.

New Pet system
The new pet system includes equipment for attack pets as well as special skills for pets. From the Korean translations it seems that there will be a function to exchange SP between the pet and the player char somehow.

Muhan Dungeon
A dungeon named "Muhan" has been added. It exists in 2 versions, for 1 player and for 8 players. It will probably be released with the Arabian region update.

Arabia will include field regions with a canyon, a "military field" and some plain fields.

The Baghdad city will be very huge. It includes gardens, magic carpet sellers, and even a dungeon which could be in the middle of the town (it's in the same folder as the city!).

I have uploaded the already existing textures for the arabian region here:Gallery 1Gallery 2

More details like if there will be a new race for the region (the islamic race that was announced years ago) are not known yet.

Other stuff: Pets will be able to wear equipment soon. There will be new pet summon scrolls for Dinosaur, Bird, Bear, Wolf, Ostrich, Cat and Dragon. All those animals can be equipped with claws, saddles, charms, scales and amulets. The equipment can even be strengthened, a STR increase alchemy stone exists.

As you may have noticed, there aren't many news at the moment (looks like Joymax already finished every update until the end of the year and just releases them whenever they want). I decided to post some old screenshots for you then ^_^ They are from beta tests, the dates are unknown.

Together with that, the kSRO GM confirmed some new info, like if you fail plusing a D12 item, even if it try to be +0 -> +1, it can be destroyed, but for our pleasure there is an item on the Item Mall for protect our weapons from this (also lv 106+ mobs should drop it). With this item, when the enchant fail, instead of get destroyed, the item get a -1 plus. So if you fail a +3, it goes to +2, and if you fail a +0, it goes -1 XDAlso, both the Tessera (for upgrade the items from D11 to D12) and the Enhancers (the new elixir for D12 items) can be obtained through hunting, but only mobs from lv 101+ drop them.Dropped Tesseras have lower chance of upgrading your weapon to D12, but don't worry, even if it fails, only the Tessera will be destroyed, not the weapon. The Item Mall ones have a 100% chance.

Hi guys, since I promised I'd do a list with less known commands for the GM console, here it is! Not all of these commands might work in the SRO version you're playing because of the client differences.

/isattack X
Well, I don't know what this command is for. But it writes a yellow "No - Object..." in the chat window :P

/lod
Quite awesome command to set the graphics a little higher. I took screenshots to compare the graphics with and without using the /lod command. (it not only fixes some graphic bugs but also the background gets a little more detailed)

/time X
Set for X a number between 0 and 24. It just changes the daytime.

/add_temppos X
Spawns a Mangyang with name X at your position. Seems to have no other function at the moment xD

/msgshow
An interesting command for all the coders out there. Whenever a packet is sent by the client, the opcode will be displayed in the status window at the bottom right.

First of all, if you have a SON set, and you are already selling it because of the update. STOP RIGHT NOW!The new degree doesn't comes with cap upgrade (yet!), so your normal nova items still worth something!You can upgrade your seal of nova items to D12 sealed items, the minimum requeriments for the upgrade are:

- The item must be at least +7 or more.- The item cannot be from Magic POP.

Depending on the item you are going to upgrade, you can get one of the 3 tiers of D12 nova items:
